In modelling metal forming processes, whether analytically or with the help of numerical approaches, e.g. the finite element method (FEM), the input data determines the results. Therefore, a lot of ...

Precision metalforming processes involve complex and strong interactions between the workpiece (material and shape) and forming equipment, as well as lubrication, temperature, and other manufacturing ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted metal forming combines high-frequency, low-amplitude oscillations with conventional forming processes to enhance material flow, reduce forming forces and improve surface ...

Here’s a quick overview of different PM processes that can be found at Metal Powder Industries Federation's site, www.mpif.org (select Intro to PM and then processes). For an in-depth discussion of ...

There is a high chance that specific shapes and mechanical properties are required when sourcing an alloy product for an industrial, medical, or consumer application. This is where cold working ...
